Set the droop screws (little set screws on the a arms near the diff outdrives) so they hit just before the shock is fully extended . What happens is when the buggy crashes and hits right the a arms are pulled downward and the shock eye breaks ....

Also try taking a piece of nitro fuel tube and cut a 3 mm piece and screw off your shock end and slide the tube onto your shock shaft, screw on the shock end again and now when your shaft compresses, it won't be able to fully compress and break your retainers....hope that helps
